I am so excited to introduce my new photographer friend who I met up with today to wander around Frederick with and scout out some cool locations for future urban sessions. Sarah is bright, creative, funny, spunky and a great photographer herself (and she’s a freshman in high school!!!) I am already so proud of her – I explained in the first 10 minutes some ramblings about aperture and shutter speed and how to shoot in manual (trust me – it wasnt the best description on my part) and within minutes she was shooting in full manual. Amazing!!!

She also turned out to be my muse…as I have been mostly taking photos of landscapes in Australia – I couldnt help myself but to ask her to model for me in some of the locations. She’s a natural of course – and obviously suited to be both behind and in front of the camera!

I cant wait to try out some of these awesome locations we found on my next urban session!! Thanks Sarah for your help today!!

1. I have officially started the countdown at work!! Less than 2 weeks now before we leave to go to Maryland. I cant believe how quickly this is all coming together…and how massive the amount of packing is that we still need to do. Scary.

2. Have I discussed my crackberry blackberry yet on here? It’s like my best friend. I love her. Yes, it’s a her – and she’s pink of course. I’m very sad to leave her behind when I go to Australia. I wonder if she’ll remember me when I get back. Hopefully vacation will rid me of calling my phone a her.

3. I’m trying to figure out what to wear to dave’s residency graduation dinner…I think I’m leaning towards my cute DVF wrap dress – but I wear that thing everywhere and it would be nice for my dear husband to see me in something else for a change.

4. We saw a black snake this week on our walk around the lake behind our apartment – just chillin’ on the path. It was hilarious because we just walked around it but there was a guy standing there completely frozen and freaked out – and asked us if it was a snake. He said in an anxious voice that he is from India and they dont like snakes and spun around on his heels and walked the other way. Snakes actually dont bother me too much but I guess if I was raised around pythons and crazy venomous snakes then I’d walk away too.

5. Where are my twilight readers at!? Sooooo excited about the trailer for the new movie to come out! I.CANT.WAIT!!!

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Here are some shots of my amazing flush mount 12×12 Showcase Album I got in recently. So perfect! This album has 30 pages of edge to edge stunning prints flush mount with the pages and is offered a la carte or in one of my collections. This is the most beautiful album I have ever seen and I cant wait to show off the sample!!

I had the pleasure of meeting a phenomenal graduate this weekend who is about to take the world by storm!! He is super funny, smart, athletic and has gorgeous eyes – his mom and I kept trying to convince him to become a model! I know his mom is going to miss him when he goes off to college in the fall but I’m sure he’ll make her very proud! Here are some sneak peeks from the session!!

This afternoon I spent the day with the BEAUTIFUL and super fun senior, Maddie – to say she is photogenic is the understatement of the century! The greatest part is she is totally down to earth and her family rocks too! Her two sisters and her dad helped us trek around downtown Indy and except for 1 near-miss attack of some rogue pigeons, we all made it through unscathed! Maddie thanks so much for an awesome shoot!!! Enjoy your sneak peeks!
